[Footnote 1]: This English officer, whom the author, through the story, thinly disguises under the title "Lord H----," will be readily recognized by the reader as that Lord Howe who met his death at Ticonderoga.
[Footnote 2]: This very curious fact is avouched upon authority beyond question. The order was called that of the Honontkoh, and was generally regarded with great doubt and suspicion by the Iroquois.
[Footnote 3]: All the principal incidents in the above remarkable scene were related to me by Judge Spencer as having occurred within his own personal knowledge.
[Footnote 4]: I am told that the Fort referred to did not receive the name of Crown Point till after its capture by the English; but I find it so called by contemporary English writers.
